I, Den-O, Contract Urban Legend

After a while, people seemed to be discussing something, and then put down the dying Kuin.

Inoue Ueya walked forward and tried to catch Kuin, but unfortunately, just like before, he went straight through and missed.

The crowd dragged Kuin for a while, then tied her to a wooden pillar in the distance and held out torches in their hands...

The dream ended with Kuin's screams when she was engulfed by flames and the laughter of the crowd, and Inoue Ueya woke up from the bed.

"Those guys..."

In an instant, Inoue Ueya's heart was filled with anger.

In this dream, he witnessed Kuin's experience before her death. First, she was nailed to the cross until she was dying, and then she was tied to a wooden pillar and burned at the stake.

No, now is not the time to recall the past. I suddenly dreamed of Kuin's past. Could it be because Kuin in the dream of the forest encountered something strange?

——But I shouldn't be able to enter the dream for the time being.

Inoue Ueya sighed. According to previous experience, the forest dream would only pull him in once a day.

"Anyway, there is still some time now, so let's sleep again."

Chapter 98 Am I right?

Kamen Rider Club.

Inoue Ueya sat on the chair, looking at the blackboard expressionlessly, but his mind was constantly thinking about Kuin.

In the end, Inoue Ueya still failed to enter the dream again. Now he is a little confused. Although he knows about Kuin, he has no idea of ​​how to solve the problem. His heart is gradually occupied by uneasiness.

For some reason, he has a bad premonition, as if Kuin is about to disappear.

Yukinoshita Yukino, who was sitting on the other side, frowned and couldn't help asking: "Hey, what's wrong, are you worried about something?"

Hearing Yukinoshita's voice, Inoue Ueya finally came back to his senses, shook his head, and replied: "No, nothing..."

"You look so worried, anyone can see it." The second lady sighed.

"Well, is that really the case?" Inoue Ueya was surprised.

"So what? What happened?"

Looking at Yukinoshita Yukino in front of him, Inoue Ueya hesitated slightly, and then asked: "Yukinoshita classmate, if there is someone you want to save in front of you, but you don't have the ability to save the other person, what will you do?"

"Huh?"

"Don't think too much, just answer me."

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed, did not directly answer Inoue Ueya's question, but looked up at the sunset outside the window, and slowly said: "Speaking of which, in the past two weeks, in addition to exercise, I stayed at home and watched a lot of Kamen Rider works."

"Huh?"

"Each Kamen Rider has a different personality and reason for fighting. It may be to protect other people's smiles and dreams. The more alternative ones may also fight for money or ambition..."

Speaking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino turned and looked at Inoue Ueya.

"So, Inoue-san, why did you choose to become a Kamen Rider?"

"Me?"

Inoue Ueya scratched his head. This question stumped him. He had gained the power of Kamen Rider because he was bound by the system. As for the reason for fighting——

"To be honest, I have never thought about this question. Strength is something that will be used when it is needed..."

Then, Inoue Ueya fell into deep thought.

"Well, since you haven't thought about it, then don't think too much. Follow your heart to face things. I think this is the best."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Inoue Ueya felt a little incredible.

It's really surprising that Yukinoshita would say such a gentle word?

Since the old rat incident, Inoue Ueya felt that Yukinoshita Yukino had gradually become a little different.

In Inoue Ueya's impression, her attribute should be sharp-tongued, black and straight, right?

"You're not in a good condition anyway, so let's stop here for today."

Yukinoshita Yukino shrugged, began to pack up her things with her head down, and then walked out of the classroom. For some reason, this second lady seemed to be very busy recently and often left the classroom early.

Well, this should be a good thing?

At least she doesn't have time to look for weirdness for the time being.

...

After saying goodbye to Yukinoshita Yukino, Inoue Ueya walked silently on the street.

"Follow your heart?"

Although it's said so, is it enough to do so?

At this time, Inoue Ueya saw Kato Megumi standing right in front of him, looking at him silently.

"Kato? What's the matter with you coming to Chiba suddenly?"

Suddenly, he found that Kato Megumi in front of him was a little strange. When he met her a few days ago, she still had short hair, but today it became long hair. Isn't the growth rate of this hair a bit too exaggerated?

"Ueya-kun, are you confused? Because of the witch in the Book of Shadows?" Kato Megumi asked.

Hearing this, Inoue Ueya showed a puzzled expression.

"Ueya-kun"?

My relationship with her shouldn't be that good, right?

"Wait, why do you know about the Book of Shadows?"

Looking closely, Kato Megumi seems to have become more mature.

"I see, you are the future..." Inoue Ueya said with sudden realization.

Kato Megumi extended her right index finger and pressed it against Inoue Ueya's lips, forcing him to stop.

"It seems that you have guessed my identity. In short, how much do you know about the Nirvana Witch, Ueya-kun?"

Nirvana Witch, is she talking about Ku Yin?

Although Inoue Ueya heard during the Tenjin Elementary School incident that the Book of Shadows sealed an existence called "Nirvana", he never thought that this was a title belonging to a witch.

Seeing Ueya Inoue's confused look, Kato Megumi shook his head.

"It seems that you only know a little bit about that witch? Then listen carefully. It is said that the Nirvana Witch died during the witch hunting period and died innocently from execution, so she has always resented humans. At the same time, she also wrote the Book of Shadows. People seal their souls in books after death..."

"Ah?" Inoue Zhiya looked confused.

The future Megumi Kato looked at Ueya Inoue with a serious expression, not joking at all.

"Well, in fact, the so-called witch is an ancient esper whose nature is similar to the existence of modern onmyoji. However, the Nirvana Witch is an extremely powerful existence among them, even more powerful than the previous heads of the Hanakaiyuan family. In fact, she has no He did something bad, but you know, what happened at that time..."

Inoue Ueya nodded and responded: "I probably know the situation, but——"

But this information didn't seem to be of much help to him. Even if he knew Ku Yin's past, he still couldn't make her stay, right?

"Listen, what I'm saying now is the key point! Zhiya-kun, you probably don't intend to watch her disappear. Am I right?"

"Guess?"

Inoue Ueya frowned. Since the Kato Megumi in front of him came from the future, why did he need to "guess"?

Well, although he thinks that even in the future, he will not tell her the detailed situation, so it is estimated that what Kato Megumi knows now seems incomplete?

In other words, the fact that she obtained the Book of Shadows may already involve the future she wants to change, so she cannot clearly know the current situation?

Megumi Kato ignored Inoue Ueya's doubts and asked again: "In short, what I said is right, right?"

"Well, that's true..."

"Then tell me the details of your contact with the witch."

"I see……"

After hesitating for a while, Inoue Ueya told everything he knew.

No matter what, if you continue to worry, you won't be able to solve the problem. Right now, I can't think of any way to save Ku Yin.

If it were Megumi Kato from the future, maybe she would have some advice?

After a long time, Inoue Ueya finally told Kato Megumi completely about the dream in the woods.

"The connection with the strange demon gods is blocked, and the method of transforming them into strange demon gods cannot be used. Is the only person who can enter that dreamland the only one who has insufficient combat power, Ueya-kun?"

"Hey, lack of combat power is superfluous!" Inoue Ueya retorted.

"Speaking of which, although Zhiya-kun has contracted with many strange demon gods, he has not yet "awakened"..."

Kato Megumi seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked at Inoue Ueya with strange eyes.

"Ueya-kun, have you ever heard of Personas?"

Chapter 99 Changes in Dreams

After breaking up with Ueya Inoue, future Megumi Kato walks alone on the street.

The situation was better than expected. After hearing about the dream from Inoue Ueya, Kato Megumi no longer worried that he would inadvertently mess up the plan.

As she walked, a girl with long black hair and straight hair walked next to her and walked side by side with her.

"Have you finally met the current Ueya-kun? How does it feel?" Kato Megumi asked.

"Yeah, very energetic, more energetic than I remembered..."

"After all, the degree of change at this point in time has almost reached its limit, and our existence has become unstable, Yukinoshita-san."

As they spoke, the figures of the two gradually became illusory, only to return to normal again after a while.

"You told them too much, and they are not idiots. They can always guess something, right?"

Megumi Kato shrugged, "No matter how you put it, the most important thing is to make the plan succeed, isn't it?"

"That's right. Anyway, when we decided to implement the plan, we had already realized that we were going to disappear. This is also something we have calculated..."

…

At night, Inoue Ueya entered the forest dream again.

Although she learned a piece of useful information from Kato Megumi, she did not tell Inoue Ueya how to save Kuin.

"Before leaving, Kato Megumi just told me to act according to my heart. What does this mean..."

Is it "following one's heart" again?

What came into view was no longer the relaxing dream that he usually had, but a spooky forest. Inoue Ueya immediately looked up and saw the dark night sky just like the dream he had had for the second time last night.

Inoue Ueya frowned, secretly thinking that something was wrong. There was something strange in this dream. Something was obviously wrong...

"Hey! Ku Yin! Where are you?" Inoue Ueya shouted.

Under normal circumstances, after Ku Yin heard Inoue Ueya's call, she would always appear next to him immediately, but now there was no response.

Suddenly, Inoue Ueya recalled the memory of witnessing Ku Yin's execution yesterday, and a flash of worry flashed in his eyes.

Could she be in danger?

Swish-swish--

At this time, a faint sound came from nearby. Inoue Ueya looked around carefully and finally saw a familiar figure squatting in the nearby bushes, shivering.

"Woo-woo-woo, is that Inoya?"

"Yes, it's me, Kuin, are you okay?"

"I'm so scared. The sky gradually darkened, and then a group of strangers holding torches suddenly appeared nearby. They seemed to be looking for me..."

Inoue Ueya roughly guessed who Kuin was talking about. She should be talking about the group of people who watched her being executed, right?
